Hello. I'm trying to figure out the floating point architecture in Draco. I
include the "float.g" at the very start of my program and it compiles fine,
but BLink tells me that there's an unrecognized object _MathDoubBasBase at the
beginning of the drstart.o file. I'm using the "ex dr1" syntax for linking
the resource file.  When I try to run the executable, it gurus after I enter
the first number (readln(num); , where I assigned "num" as type Float). I've
tried entering them both as integers (12) and what I call "real" numbers
(12.), but no go, it gurus out either way.
Part of my problem is my unfamiliarity with compileable
languages, and part with my understanding of the documentation.
I assumed that since the docs say it accesses the mathieeedoubbas.library as a
run-time library that it would try and access that during the execution of the
program. Am I missing some syntax in the BLink command? I realise this is a
pretty Mickey Mouse question, but then so is my knowledge of compileable
languages. :-)
On another note, what's the proper format for inputting complex numbers using
the supplied routines? How would you enter 4+5i, for example?
